This world-famous Roquefort is a noble, all-natural ewe's milk blue cheese from the Auvergne region of France. Papillon (which means butterfly in French) wraps their top-of-the-line Roquefort in black foil to distinguish it from lesser brands. Aged for over 4 months in the natural Combalou Caves, this exceptional Papillon Roquefort is distinguished first and foremost by its white curd and the intense blue which generously marbles its wide and numerous cavities. The taste of a good Roquefort is similar, in terms of analysis, to a grand cru wine: balanced and fairly salty, with a big personality. It is great for melting, slightly granulated, and lingers in the mouth. In the mouth, its unctuous and supple texture melts deliciously with a recognizable taste, and leaves you with a powerful and lingering aftertaste.

Since 1906, the Papillon Dairies have been making authentic Roquefort born of the marriage of men and nature. This union of over one hundred years is the basis for the identity of a product whose notoriety lies above all in their confidence in experts. Papillon's confidence is in natural savoir-faire, tradition, and flavor, which all serve to make this Roquefort inimitable.

As expected, a very good quality roquefort. If one does order it make sure when it is shipped not to order it during a warm period.

We had been looking for this cheese since we were in France!

Yummy....let it warm to room temp and a little goes a long way! Melts in your mouth.

Tangy blue.

Creamy and tangy but not too salty . This not a strong blue but tasty. Really good over a baked potato .

The real deal.

It is a treat to have somewhere to shop for real cheese. You apparently can't buy roquefort cheese or salad dressing in supermarkets any more. I love the flavor of this excellent cheese.

world's greatest

This is my favorite.
Can't get any creamer, and the "blue" is not overpowering. If you are a blue cheese lover, you will find happines.

a real find

As the product description says, this is lovely Roquefort. Papillon appears to refer to the areas of deep blue which are indeed shaped like little butterflies. Left out to come to room temp, this cheese exudes the perfect texture and flavor. It will spread on the crispiest cracker without breaking it. We don't leave it out for too long, tho, as every time we pass the dish we can't resist one more little taste. It wears down our resistance. This is special.
